>>>
>>> OKAY.
>>> OKAY. SO IF YOU HAD A SLICE OF KING
CAKE YESTERDAY AND ACCIDENTLY
BIT INTO THE HARD PLASTIC BABY
INSIDE, YOU MAY NEED SOME DENTAL
RECONSTRUCTION.
RECONSTRUCTION. DR. RALPH HANNAH CAN HELP.
HE IS JOINING US NOW WITH A
SMILING CLIENT RIHANNA CANTRELL.
BY THE WAY, IT IS NATIONAL
DENTIST DAY SO CONGRATULATIONS.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO CONGRATULATE
MY PROFESSORS AND COLLEAGUES.
>> THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF THINGS
THAT REQUIRE A DENTAL IMPLANT,
YOU COULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT
ALSO JUST GENETICS.
>> CORRECT.
>> CORRECT. MARDI GRAS IS THE BIGGEST TIME
OF YEAR FOR US.
>> BECAUSE OF ACCIDENTS?
>> ACTUALLY YOU CAN HAVE
ACCIDENTS, YOU CAN HAVE
GENETICS, GUM DISEASE, FAILING
DENTAL WORK, ANY COMBINATION OF
THE ABOVE.
THE ABOVE. ANOTHER ONE THAT IS VERY COMMON
AND POPULAR THAT WE SEE IS DRY
MOUTH OR YOU CAN HAVE DRY MOUTH
BECAUSE OF A DISEASE OR ANY
CONDITION OR AS SECONDARY TO THE
PILLS THAT YOU ARE TAKING FOR
SOMETHING ELSE.
SOMETHING ELSE. LIKE MEDICATIONS THAT HAVE A
SECONDARY SIDE EFFECT OF DRY
MOUTH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WITHIN TWO YEARS, YOU HAVE 25
CAVITIES, ALL OF THEM TO THE
NERVE OF THE TOOTH.
AND SOME OF THEM BREAK.
BY THE TIME YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE
THE DRY MOUTH, YOU ALREADY LOST
YOUR TEETH.
YOUR TEETH. >> AND RIHANNA, YOU HAD A COUPLE
OF THINGS THAT PLAYED INTO YOUR
TEETH HAVING PROBLEMS.
>> YEAH, I DID.
THERE WAS MEDICATION FOR A LONG
TIME AND THE COMBINATION OF
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. WE
THAT. WE HAD A LOT OF DRY MOUTH AND
ISSUES WITH THAT.
>> AND THEN THERE WAS AN
ACCIDENT?
ACCIDENT?
ACCIDENT? >> THERE WAS A CAR ACCIDENT
WHERE A FEW OF THE TEETH THAT
HAD BEEN AFFECTED BY THE
MEDICATION GOT KNOCKED OUT OR
THEY BROKE IN HALF, JUST NOT
GREAT THINGS.
GREAT THINGS. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE LOOK AT TEETH
AS AN AESTHETIC ISSUE BUT IT IS
SO CRITICAL TO OUR HEALTH AND
OVERALL SELF ESTEEM.
GIVE US A SENSE OF WHAT IT WAS
LIKE FOR YOU WHEN YOUR TEETH
WERE AT THEIR WORST.
>> I WORK WITH KIDS ALL DAY
LONG.
LONG.
LONG. I'M
LONG. I'M WITH PEOPLE.
PEOPLE SEE ME.
AND IT HOLDS YOU BACK.
IT REALLY DOES.
YOU DON'T SMILE AS MUCH OR LAUGH
AS MUCH.
AS MUCH.
AS MUCH. WHEN YOU HAVE THAT MANY LITTLE
PEOPLE THAT YOU ACTUALLY ENJOY,
AND YOU WANT TO BE WITH AND MAKE
HAPPY AND SHOW THEM YOU'RE HAPPY
TOO AND YOU HOLD BACK THE SMILES
AND TALK A DIFFERENT WAY, IT WAS
HARDER.
HARDER.
HARDER. AFTER EVERYTHING, IT WAS JUST SO
MUCH EASIER.
MUCH EASIER. EVERYBODY NOTICED.
EVERYBODY NOTICED. TO HAVE KIDS 5 TO 12 JUST GO YOU
LOOK SO MUCH HAPPIER.
YEAH, IT WAS A BIG CHANGE.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT DR.
HANNAH?
HANNAH?
HANNAH? >> FROM GREAT DAY HOUSTON
ACTUALLY.
ACTUALLY.
ACTUALLY. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ASKED
ME, I'VE BEEN TOLD I CAN'T HAVE
IMPLANTS.
IMPLANTS.
IMPLANTS. AND YOU SEE THAT A LOT WHERE
PEOPLE ARE TOLD THEY CAN'T HAVE
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. YOU
THEM. YOU JUST SAY COME IN BECAUSE YOU
HAVE A DIFFERENT APPROACH AND
MAYBE SOME MORE EXPERIENCE.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MANY
TIMES.
TIMES.
TIMES. I
TIMES. I HAVE BEEN ON THIS SHOW A FEW
TIMES ALREADY AND WE SPOKE OF
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. STILL, EVERY DAY I GET PATIENTS
THAT COME IN AND SAY, I WAS TOLD
I CAN'T HAVE THAT.
AND THERE IS NOT ONLY ONE OPTION
TO TREAT THEM BUT MAYBE TWO OR
THREE DIFFERENT OPTIONS TO TREAT
THEM.
THEM.
THEM. WE
THEM. WE CAN PRESENT THEM AND WE CAN
SHOW YOU WHAT CAN BE DONE, WHAT
OPTIONS YOU HAVE AND DIFFERENT
OPTIONS WITH DIFFERENT BUDGETS.
>> LOOKING AT THE BEFORE AND
AFTERS THERE, AMAZING.
WHAT WAS DONE WITH RIHANNA?
>> SHE HAD THE FULL MOUTH
IMPLANTS THE SAME DAY.
WE BASICALLY PUT HER TO SLEEP
FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 HOURS AND WAKES
UP AND SHE IS DONE.
>> AND YOU CAN GET ONE TOOTH,
FIVE TEETH?
FIVE TEETH? >> THE FULL MOUTH.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS THAT STOPS
PEOPLE IN THEIR TRACKS IS HOW
MUCH IT COSTS.
>> I HAD GONE TO TWO OR THREE
DIFFERENT DENTISTS AND THEY WERE
QUOTING OUTRAGEOUS THINGS AND
THAT WAS WITHOUT USING AN ORAL
SURGEON.
SURGEON.
SURGEON. IT WAS GOING TO COST ALMOST
TWICE AS MUCH FOR NOT USING AN
ORAL SURGEON.
ORAL SURGEON. AND IF YOU WANT TO GO WITH AN
ORAL SURGEON, IT WILL BE ANOTHER
DOWN PAYMENT ON A HOME TO GET IT
DONE.
DONE.
DONE. WHEN WE MET WITH HIM, THERE WAS
JUST AN INSANE LEVEL OF COMFORT
THAT WAS IMMEDIATE.
>> AND YOUR OFFICE STAFF IS
AMAZING.
AMAZING.
AMAZING. THEY SAY LET'S WORK THIS OUT.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF THINGS YOU CAN DO.
SOMETIMES YOU CAN HAVE A COUPLE
OF IMPLANTS THAT ANCHOR DOWN THE
WHOLE.
WHOLE.
WHOLE. >>
WHOLE. >> WE HAVE SEVERAL TYPES OF
IMPLANTS AND ATTACHMENTS.
THAT IS ANOTHER THING I LIKE
ABOUT DEVELOPING MY PROFESSION
OR DEVELOPING MY KNOWLEDGE IS
THAT WE GO AND EXPLORE ALL OF
THE NEW PRODUCT AND ALL OF THE
OPTIONS THAT ARE THERE.
SO I'M USUALLY OFFERING THE
PATIENTS ONE OR TWO OR THREE
OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM EVEN IF
THEY ARE FULL MOUTH, EVEN IF IT
IS VERY INVOLVED, EVEN IF THERE
IS BONE LOSS.
I HAVE SEVERAL TYPES OF IMPLANTS
AND DEVICES THAT FIT IN.
>> AND IT IS ALL DONE IN YOUR
OFFICE.
OFFICE.
OFFICE. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. WE EVEN HAVE THE LAB IN THE
OFFICE AND YOU MEET FACE TO FACE
WITH THE PERSON WHO IS MAKING
YOUR TEETH IN THE LAB.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY YOUR
PERSONALITY AND HOW TO MAKE IT
FIT YOUR FACE.
>> AND YOU LEAVE WITH YOUR TEETH
IN YOUR MOUTH?
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> THERE IS A SPECIAL OFFER OF
15% OF A FUTURE APPOINTMENT BY
GIVING THEM A CALL TODAY.
YOU MUST MENTION GREAT DAY
HOUSTON TO GET THE DISCOUNT.
